What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? - A Coworker

Highly entertaining. Everyday frustrating events reduced to their truly accurate, but sad, essence. Drives home that everyone in the corporate world are in the same boat being guided by the unchallenging and inept.

My first Dilbert Book. I liked it.

I have to say I enjoyed this book. I have always had a small fascination for the corporate satyre world of the 90s Adams introduced us to. I looked it up on the website and started reading the strips every day. With that, I went to the local Barnes and Noble and bought it. I liked it. I later read these reviews and they seem to be written by people with lots of experiance with Adams other books. This book was my first and it spans from 1989 to 2002, and I like it A LOT!! Its a recaap of all the characters. Through reading it you see the todays dilbert characters and adams drawing style evolve over time. Instead of a rip-off comp from all the other Dilbert books, consider it an introduction to the many faces of Dilbert and his coworkers.

A biting satire of all that is inept

What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? (answer: a co-worker) is the sixth, hilarious treasury of some of the best daily strips and full-color Sunday strips of the Dilbert cartoons -- which now appear in two thousand daily newspapers and sixty-five countries. A biting satire of all that is inept, soul-devouring, moronic, or just plain nuts in the corporate world, What Do You Call A Sociopath In A Cubicle? is side-splittingly funny in its merciless jibes against the foibles of idiot bosses and thoughtless employees: "If I use the speakerphone it will annoy my co-workers. Luckily for me, I'm a sociopath."

Great Treasury!

Dilbert just continues to make me laugh at corporate America! This is a great treasury with lots of color. (For the previous reviewers who don't understand what treasuries are: they are a compilation of previous collections). I know several friends and family who will receive WHAT DO YOU CALL A SOICOPATH for Christmas.

A Review by a Fan

Although this book has its faults (at least one of the strips is in it twice), it's another welcome compendium of Scott Adams' Dilbert cartoon strips. Anybody who has spent much time in an office setting will find much to identify with. A very enjoyable hour or two of reading!
